Where do you keep your wardrobe?

Hi

I've been keeping my bottles on a shelf in my bathroom but read recently that high humidity might harm the quality and longevity of the scents.
As i've paid a lot of money for these bottles i want them to smell as good as when i first bought them.
So BN'rs where do you keep yours? Bedroom? In their original boxes? In a draw/cabinet? Bathroom etc...

Re: Where do you keep your wardrobe?

On my dresser in the bedroom. It's a fairly dark room facing north so there is little sunlight and the temperature is stable.

About the bathroom: I wouldn't worry about humidity as much as fluctuating temperatures. The perfume is in a closed glass bottle so the occasional 100% humidity is unlikely to interact with the perfume. Bright lights and frequent temperature changes, however, are big problems.

I'm the same as Ken. My full bottles are in my dressing room cabinet (away from the humidity of the actual bathroom. The samples and decants I keep in by dresser drawer. I'd love to leave them out to look at, but I figure it's best to keep them out of the light as much as possible. For me it's more about the fragrance than the bottle or showing off the collection.

cool, dark, dry, dresser drawer lower to the floor where temp is cooler.

i check to make sure theyre cool by touching them to my lips
i was keeping them under my bed where it was even cooler during winter... but moved them because they built up condensation on the outside when i pulled them out and played with them

I keep mine in their boxes. My bottles are somewhat organized by season, so my cool weather fragrances are in a dresser drawer, while my warm weather and more commonly worn scents are on a shelf in my closet.

I have a lovely Chinoisserie mirrored display cabinet, where I display my rare vintages and special ones.
The rest stay in my dresser in my dressing room, boxed in the dark. With a rotation of one or two scents on the dresser top with matching cremes.
Minis have their own dresser, a mini one .

Mine are in breadboxes (three and growing) with tilt-open lids, on a non-bathroom shelf. The lid minimizes light when closed (I hope; it's rather like the "does the fridge light really go off?" question), and makes it easy to access the bottles when opened. Most are out of their boxes.

Re: Where do you keep your wardrobe?

I keep them in 4 different closets. I have 3 and my husband one. One closet is very big, I cleared it from my clothes and put them on several levels. The closets close with a door. Sometimes it is very hard to reach for the ones in the back of a level.
